The Green Bay Packers did not reach the postseason in 2018-19 and the heralded franchise is now seeking a quick turnaround. With the Packers seeking upgrades on both sides of the football, at least one Green Bay reporter believes that former Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Justin Houston could be an option for the NFC North franchise this offseason.
Preston Smith will cost more than a lot of people expect; the free-agent market doesn't have a lot of depth at pass rusher. Justin Houston probably makes more sense, especially given his connection to new Packers OLB coach Mike Smith. https://t.co/uc132vRusL

However, Green Bay is now being linked to a slew of talented players who will be available via trade or through free agency. The most notable name currently in the mix for the Packers is of course Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who is on the radar for one player already calling Green Bay home.
“Anytime you get to have a playmaker on your team, you want him there,” Packers running back Aaron Jones recently said. “But we have Davnate Adams on the other side. If we get [Brown], it would be pick your poison. But we also have three young receivers that we drafted who are up a coming. And then we also have Geronimo Allison who got hurt earlier in the season and he was on his way to a breakout season.”
If the Packers are indeed able to add either Houston or Brown, if not both, the team would be better for it in the end. With both the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings getting better by the day, the Packers must add some much-needed firepower in order to keep up in the always competitive NFC North division.
